When Freddie reads of hauntings at Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park in Ontario due to a mysterious lullaby, "Lucilla", he drags the gang on an unexpected canoe trip, where he's determined to prove that not only do ghosts exist but also that not every villain hides under a mask.

***

Freddie, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy are leaving soon for college, which causes them to fear that their mystery-solving days are over. As the gang leader, Fred takes matters into his own hands and tracks down one last mystery for them to solve--the legend of the Ghost of Ontario in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park.

While canoeing on Lake Anima Nipissing to search for clues, the gang runs into an amnesic hermit who claims he's only ten winters old and has never heard of the Ghost of Ontario; yet, whenever he's around, strange things happen, such as unexpected storms and angry spirits. It looks like he may be the gang's biggest mystery yet, but is this mysterious hermit a masked villain or something more? And what is this "Lucilla" that everyone in the provincial park keeps discussing?

It's up to the gang, Scooby, and one brave young man to solve this mystery--for all of Ontario.
